Summary
In 1920s Glasgow, Beattie Blaxland falls pregnant to her married lover Henry just before her nineteenth birthday. Abandoned by her family, Beattie and Henry set sail for a new life in Australia. But life is not about to follow the plan that Beattie had hoped for and fate will play her a cruel hand...
In 2009, London, prima ballerina Lydia Blaxland-Hunter is also discovering that life can also have its ups and downs. Unable to dance again after a fall, Lydia returns home to Australia to recuperate. But on arrival she is presented with some surprising news – her recently deceased and much-loved grandmother Beattie Blaxland has left her Tasmanian property to Lydia. Told through the eyes of a young Beattie Blaxland and a contemporary Lydia Blaxland-Hunter, this is an emotionally charged, seductive tale of self-discovery, secrets and surprises.

Heart wrenching and beautiful
I love the way Kimberley Freeman pulls me into the world’s she creates, and makes the landscapes, people and surroundings so rich and intricate.
I found this story, out of all Kimberley Freeman’s the hardest but also the most compelling to listen to because of the events that the young protagonist goes through. I was cheering her on, wanting things to work out for her. I think she might actually be my favourite lead in all of her books, and I’ve read most of them!
I also loved how the towns in Tasmania are brought to life so vividly. I really felt like I was there, and the atmosphere was perfect.
I don’t really have an dislikes for this book. I did find that I have to invest more at the start of the story to really get drawn in, but I personally like that style and once it gets going, it’s really well paced.
I also have a lot of affection for this narrator that has done several of Freeman’s books. Her accents aren’t 100% spot on but I find her voice, tone and pitch so easy to listen to, that I don’t mind the accents.
I wish there were more books of Freeman’s/Wilkins on audible!

Awful Scottish accents
This may be a good story, but the narrator is hopeless at regional British accents and this really ruins the book.
